Drake Passage 🌍 🗺 The Drake Passage, named after the 16th-century English explorer Sir Francis Drake, is a body of water that lies between South America’s Cape Horn and the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica. It was first discovered by Spanish navigator Francisco de Hoces in 1525, and it was first traversed in 1616 by a Flemish expedition led by Willem Schouten ⛵ This passage is known for its treacherous voyages. The currents at its latitude meet no resistance from any landmass, and waves can top 40 feet (12 m), earning it the reputation of being "the most powerful convergence of seas". Some of the world’s strongest ocean currents flow through the Drake Passage because they don’t meet resistance from any landmass, allowing streams of water to generate a huge amount of force 🌊
